Tracking Conversions

How Does It Work

Keitaro is able to get postbacks from CPA-networks and calculate conversion of streams and sources. To start receiving postback you should previously to enable the option “Track conversions” in the group settings.

After that each visitor will receive a unique id (subid). This subid must be passed to CPA by using macro “{subid}” in the affiliate URLs (at the streams), for example, http://cpa.xyz/click-123?sa={subid}.

Then configure Postback URL so that subid come back to Keitaro. In addition, the values profit and status are passed. Any other parameters which were passed will also be seen in detailed view of the sale.

Enabling Tracking Conversions and Postbacks

Go to “Operations > Postbacks”.

Choose your CPA-network from the list of presets or set “manual”.

You will see the instructions about CPA URL's settings. If it will not appear, you can look for instructions about passing subid on the CPA's website.

Paste this URL in Postback's settings at the website of CPA-network.

Postback Settings
